Analysis
So with the scoresheets that I used in the tournaments, how do I utilise them to my advantage because I don't know how to use them other than putting them into lichess and looking at the eval bar. So what do I do?

Play through your moves first without the eval bar on to see if you can spot anything you might have missed first time round. I understand it’s easier said than done because this is something I also struggle with.
Game analysis
Genuine question: How do you guys analyse your games and learn from your mistakes properly? If you are learning a new opening, what is the best tips to best adapt and master it? Your thoughts please 🙏 Thanks

I’ve seen a couple chess YouTubers advise that you should analyse without the computer at first. Hanging Pawns has a good video on it. As for openings I personally use a website /app called Chessbook.com
Ugh, anything but that!
What is an opening that you really don't like to play against, and why? I know for me, I used to really hate going against the hippo. I was so uncomfortable trying to navigate those extremely closed positions out of the opening.

Any opening that isn’t an opening. Opponents playing weird moves is my kryptonite. Apparently I struggle to adapt and think on the fly.
CARO CAN OR CARO CANT ?
I have a question , is the Caro too advanced for members around 1000 ? . I welcome all views.

Not too advanced at all. I think caro-kann is great for beginner and/or lower elo players. I speak on it as one myself.

I cant envision myself playing over the board any time soon if ever. I hang around the 600s in chess.com blitz and my rapid is currently in the 800s, i did cross to the 900s briefly. I'm certain I know the areas I need to improve, biggest one is blundering my major pieces less. I think both my middle games and end games are very hit and miss. I'm usually very happy with my openings though perhaps i focus on this area too much, but we all love openings right?

I play chess. Hard stuck 800/900 rapid. Dreams of having a 4 figure elo. Still blunder pieces much more than I should.
